DESCRIPTION
Honeywell’s Magnetoresistive Sensor ICs (integrated circuits),
Standard Power Series, are ultra-sensitive devices designed
for manufacturers who need a durable and reliable speed or
position sensor for large air gaps or small magnetic fields in
standard power (typically 3 Vdc to 24 Vdc) applications. Unlike
reed switches and other magnetic sensors, Honeywell’s solid
state design offers ultra-high sensitivity of 11 G max., making it
the highest sensitivity sensor in its class for standard powered
applications. The Magnetoresistive Sensor ICs, Standard Power
Series, respond to either a North or South pole applied in a
direction parallel to the sensor. They do not require the magnet
polarity to be identified, simplifying installation and potentially
reducing system cost.
VALUE TO CUSTOMERS
• Durable and reliable due to magnetic solid state, non-contact,
no-glass design which enhance switching capability.
• Cost-effective and flexible due to the sensor IC’s ultra-high
sensitivity—the highest sensitivity sensor in its class for
standard powered applications—which lowers the customer’s
cost of magnets and simplifies design-in.
• Simplifies design-in for wired applications due to its supply
voltage range, omnipolar operation, SOT-23 and flat TO-92-
style package options and wide operating temperature range.
DIFFERENTIATION
•
Ultra-high sensitivity (SM351RT and SM451R) allows for
potential use in applications requiring ultra-high magnetic
sensitivity (7 G typical operate, 11 G maximum operate).

applications requiring very high magnetic sensitivity
(14 G typical operate, 20 G maximum operate)

NOTICE
The magnetic field strength (Gauss) required to cause the switch
to change state (operate and release) will be as specified in the
magnetic characteristics. To test the switch against the specified
magnetic characteristics, the switch must be placed in a uniform
magnetic field.
NOTICE
These magnetoresistive sensor ICs may have an initial output in
either the ON or OFF state if powered up with an applied magnetic
field in the differential zone (applied magnetic field >Brp and
<Bop). Honeywell recommends allowing 10 μs for output voltage
to stabilize after supply voltage has reached its final rated value.

NOTICE
Absolute maximum ratings are the extreme limits that the device will withstand without damage to the
device. However, the electrical and mechanical characteristics are not guaranteed as the maximum limits
(above recommended operating conditions) are approached, nor will the device necessarily operate at
absolute maximum ratings.

Figure 3. Alignment of the Magnet to the SOT-23 Package (SM351RT, SM353RT) Omnipolar Magnetoresistive Sensor IC
Ideal alignment: The magnet is aligned in the same plane as the sensor IC.
The magnetic flux lines stay horizontal as the magnet
approaches the sensor IC (see Figure 3.A)
.

Offset alignment: The magnet is not aligned in the same plane as the sensor IC.
Parallel magnet approach to the sensor IC may cause dead zones.
Dead zones may occur when the majority of the magnet’s
magnetic flux lines become vertical as it approaches the
sensor IC, turning the sensor IC ON, then OFF, then ON
(see Figure 3.B).

Perpendicular magnet approach to the sensor IC eliminates possible dead
zones.
The sensor IC detects the approaching magnet’s horizontal magnetic flux lines, turning the sensor IC to ON. The sensor IC stays
ON as the magnet continues to approach. When the magnet is located directly over the sensor IC, all magnetic flux lines are now
horizontal (see Figure 3.C). (Note: This alignment decreases the magnetic flux strength at the sensor IC.)
